I was researching the use of antioxidants for my paper, so a friend, who has type 1 diabetes asked my opinion about using them (vitamins, supplements) in his case. I found some articles, but I couldn�t find enough to feel able to give him advice. I know there have already been questions about vitamin E, but aren�t there any new results or more definitive answers? Can I tell him that the “damages” result from oxidative stress that he can reduce with exogenous antioxidants?
